Measuring two weeks behind?

Question

Hi mamas.. have anyone been told they measured behind? My doctor gave me a script for an ultrasound to check for growth because when she measured my belly, I measured at 27 centimeters instead of 29 centimeters. I’m totally stressed out and worried about baby now 😩😩

Answer

Doesnt always mean anything. Fundal height can be so wrong.

Answer

At my 28 week appointment I was only measuring 27 weeks. It’s not always a good indicator of baby growth.

Answer

Im measuring a week behind as well and doctor said it's below average but not abnormal. He made it seem like no big deal but wants another scan in a couple of weeks to just keep an eye out. I felt the same way but at the same time I just feel like doctors aren't use to seeing smaller babies anymore. 40 years ago the average baby was 6lbs now it's 8lbs.

Answer

My first measured 2-3 weeks behind my entire pregnancy. I did get ultrasounds every two weeks for a large part of that pregnancy just because they wanted to be overly cautious because of other medical issues. He came at 39 weeks though a perfectly healthy 6lbs 6oz. A little small but still average. No health problems and he was perfect. 
Fundal height can really mean absolutely nothing. I’m sure they’re just being a little overly cautious to keep their bases covered! Good luck

I'm measuring two weeks ahead my dr ordered me ultrasound at next apt I was like does this mean I may have her early turns out I may just have a very large little girl guess we find out but I have heard that it's hard to guess using that method I'm also only 5 foot tall so could be reasons to be larger if you are tall you may just carrying differently too guess we find out.. let me know how yours goes

Answer

I’m measuring behind but my midwife didn’t tell me exactly how far behind. Makes me so nervous and she said she’s not concerned as long as I’m growing and not staying the same. I wish she’d order me another ultrasound just for peace of mind.

Answer

Yeah I was for like a month and a half some weeks would be 2  weeks behind then 1 week behind then back to 2 weeks behind then I just had my 30 week appointment and measured 30 so happy about that!! Hopefully everything is all good for you. Sometimes it can be where the baby is sitting.

Answer

Thank you guys! Not even sure why shes sending me for a scan but I feel less worried
